BUTTER-DISH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,214, dated December20, 1881.

Application filed October 20, 1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ASA G. GOLDING, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inButter-Dishes, of which the following is a specification.

Referenceis to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improvement, the cover being removed. Fig.2 is a sectional side elevation of the same, taken through the line a m,Fig. 1.

The object of this invention is to protect the decorated bottom ofbutter-dishes from injury while allowing the said decorations to beseen.

Theinvention consists in a butter-dish made with an interiorplate-supporting flange, whereby the said plate will be supported outof.contact with the bottom of the dish; also, in the plate-supportingflange made with its upper side inclined downward toward the sides ofthe dish, and with drip-holes formed through it; also, in thecombination, with the dish-body having interior plate-supporting flangeand the plate, of a cap-ring, whereby the edge of the said plate will becovered and concealed and also in the combination, with the body and thetop of the dish and the cap-ring, of the top flange, whereby the saidcap-ring is supported and kept in place, as will be hereinafter iullydescribed.

A represents the body of the dish, the inner; surface of the bottom ofwhich is designed to be decorated by being painted or in any otherdesired manner.

Upon the inner surface of the sides of the body A, at a little distanceabove its bottom, is formed, or to it is attached, a shoulder or flange,B, which can be made continuous or in segments of greater or lesslength. The upper surface of the flange B inclines downward toward thesides of the body A, to fOZIll a chain nel to receive the drip-waterwhich escapes through holes 0 formed through the said flange.

Dis 2.- glass plate, which rests upon the flange B, as shown in Fig. 2,so that the decorations upon the bottom of the dish will be protectedagainst injury, while they can be seen through the plate D.

Around the top of the body A is formed an (No model.)

upright ring-flange, E, upon which rests a loose ring, F. The ring F ismade in U form in cross-section, as shown in Fig. 2. The inner edge ofthe ring F rests upon the upper side of the edge of the glass plate D,so as to cover and conceal the edge of the said plate, and has notches Gformed in it to allow the drip-water to pass freely to and around theedge of the plate D and escape through the holes 0 in flange B into thelower part of the dish.

The outer edge of the ring F rests upon the outer flange or top, H, ofthe dish. If desired, the dish can be made without the uprightringfiange, E, in which case the flange B should be at a distance belowthe top H of the dish A a little greater than the thickness of the glassplate D, so that the inner part of the cap-ring F can rest against thebody A of the dish, and can thus be kept in place.

- The dish is provided with a cover, I, in the ordinary manner.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent? 1. An improved butter-dish having an annularinclined flange secured to inner surface a short distance above itsbottom, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a butter-dish, the combination, with the body A, of the inclinedflange B, secured to the inner surface of the said body a short distanceabove its body, and provided with the perforations G, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

3. In a butter-dish, the combination, with the body A, provided with theinterior flange, B, and the plate D, of the cap-ring F, provided withnotches G on its inner edge, substantially as and for the purpose setforth.

4. In a butter-dish, the combination, with the body A and top H of thedish and the cap ring F, of the top flange, E, substantially as hereinshown and described, whereby the said ringis supported and kept inplace, as set forth.

The above specification of my improvement in butter-dishes signed by methis 28th day of September, 1881.
